CommentsThis chess piece is certainly part of the same set as another one in the Bayerisches Nationalmuseum in Munich (Inv. MA 179). See related objects.
Similar pieces are also in the Victoria and Albert Museum and the British Museum in London.

ProvenanceFirst mentioned in the inventory of the Ivory Room in the Grünes Gewölbe Museum in 1819.
